 FILM\n\n"Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight To Vote" (2022) by Robert 
 Greenwald (Director of Outfoxed, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price, and 
 Making A Killing: Guns Greed and the NRA) is a powerful documentary about 
 the growing threat of voter suppression and election sabotage to our 2022 
 midterm elections. \n\nIn 2021, 19 states passed 34 new voter laws 
 following the Big Lie of the 2020 election. The film focuses on this recent 
 wave of voter suppression and subversion laws being enacted in states, and 
 how the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian 
 Kemp provides a blueprint for today’s voter suppression laws across the 
 country.\n\n"Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight To Vote" now includes 
 perspectives from voters in Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Georgia that 
 highlight how these new laws will affect their constitutional right to 
 vote. \n\nSuppression tactics covered in the film include: Registration 
 hurdles; Polling place closures; Voter purges; Missing absentee ballots; 
 Extreme wait times at polling locations; Exact match disqualifications; New 
 vote by mail limitations; Changes to ballot collection and drop off and 
 more. \n\nVoter suppression laws disproportionately affect American 
 Students, Senior Citizens, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and People of Color 
 from casting their ballots. Suppressed and Sabotaged 2022 is a call to 
 action against the calculated, unconstitutional and racist attacks intended 
 to suppress the right to vote in America.\n\n
